Bill > HB4547

This bill establishes a Tricare premium reimbursement program for Michigan National Guard members who have individual coverage through the Tricare reserve select program or the Tricare dental program. The program allows eligible recipients, who are not on active duty and are not covered by other health insurance through an employer or private market, to apply for grants that reimburse their insurance premiums. To be considered, applicants must submit an application to the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs using a form that will be made available on the department's website. The bill defines key terms such as "eligible recipient" and specifies that the department will create rules for implementing the program in accordance with the state's administrative procedures act. The goal of this legislation appears to be providing financial support to National Guard members to help offset the cost of maintaining health and dental insurance when they are not on active duty.
